The Acts of Apostles 2: 14, 22-33

2:14	Ngunit si Peter, tumayo kasama ang labing isa, nagtaas ng boses, at kinausap niya sila: “Mga lalaki ng Judea, at ang lahat ng nananatili sa Jerusalem, ipaalam ito sa iyo, at ikiling ninyo ang inyong mga tainga sa aking mga salita.
2:22	Lalaki ng Israel, marinig ang mga salitang ito: Si Jesus na Nazareno ay isang lalaking pinatunayan ng Diyos sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng mga himala at mga kababalaghan at mga tanda na ginawa ng Diyos sa pamamagitan niya sa inyong gitna., tulad ng alam mo rin.
2:23	ang lalaking ito, sa ilalim ng tiyak na plano at paunang kaalaman ng Diyos, ay inihatid ng mga kamay ng hindi makatarungan, naghihirap, at pinatay.
2:24	At siya na ibinangon ng Diyos ay sinira ang mga kalungkutan ng Impiyerno, sapagkat tiyak na imposibleng mahawakan siya nito.
2:25	Sapagka't sinabi ni David tungkol sa kaniya: ‘Nakita ko ang Panginoon palagi sa aking paningin, sapagkat siya ay nasa aking kanang kamay, para hindi ako maantig.
2:26	Dahil dito, ang puso ko'y nagalak, at ang aking dila ay nagalak. At saka, ang aking laman ay mamamahinga rin sa pag-asa.
2:27	Sapagkat hindi mo iiwan ang aking kaluluwa sa Impiyerno, ni hindi mo pahihintulutan ang iyong Banal na makakita ng katiwalian.
2:28	Itinuro mo sa akin ang mga paraan ng pamumuhay. Lubos mo akong pupunuin ng kaligayahan sa pamamagitan ng iyong presensya.’
2:29	Mga kapatid na marangal, Pahintulutan akong magsalita nang malaya sa iyo tungkol sa Patriarch na si David: sapagkat siya ay namatay at inilibing, at ang kanyang libingan ay kasama natin, kahit hanggang ngayon.
2:30	Samakatuwid, siya ay isang propeta, sapagkat alam niya na ang Diyos ay nanumpa sa kanya tungkol sa bunga ng kanyang mga balakang, tungkol sa Isa na uupo sa kanyang trono.
2:31	Nahuhulaan ito, nagsasalita siya tungkol sa Pagkabuhay na Mag-uli ni Cristo. Sapagkat hindi siya naiwan sa Impiyerno, ni ang kanyang laman ay hindi nakakita ng katiwalian.
2:32	Itong si Hesus, Muling bumangon ang Diyos, at dito kaming lahat ay saksi.
2:33	Samakatuwid, na itinaas sa kanang kamay ng Diyos, at natanggap mula sa Ama ang Pangako ng Banal na Espiritu, ibinuhos niya ito, gaya ng nakikita at naririnig mo ngayon.

First Letter of Peter 1: 17-21

1:17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without showing favoritism to persons, judges according to each one’s work, then act in fear during the time of your sojourning here.

1:18 For you know that it was not with corruptible gold or silver that you were redeemed away from your useless behavior in the traditions of your fathers,

1:19 but it was with the precious blood of Christ, an immaculate and undefiled lamb,

1:20 foreknown, tiyak, before the foundation of the world, and made manifest in these latter times for your sake.

1:21 Sa pamamagitan niya, you have been faithful to God, who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would be in God.

24:13	At masdan, two of them went out, on the same day, to a town named Emmaus, which was the distance of sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
24:14	And they spoke to one another about all of these things that had occurred.
24:15	At nangyari iyon, while they were speculating and questioning within themselves, Jesus himself, papalapit, traveled with them.
24:16	But their eyes were restrained, so that they would not recognize him.
24:17	At sinabi niya sa kanila, “What are these words, which you are discussing with one another, as you walk and are sad?”
24:18	At isa sa kanila, whose name was Cleopas, responded by saying to him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
24:19	At sinabi niya sa kanila, “What things?” At sabi nila, “About Jesus of Nazareth, who was a noble prophet, powerful in works and in words, before God and all the people.
24:20	And how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death. And they crucified him.
24:21	But we were hoping that he would be the Redeemer of Israel. At ngayon, on top of all this, today is the third day since these things have happened.
24:22	Pagkatapos, masyadong, certain women from among us terrified us. For before daytime, they were at the tomb,
24:23	at, having not found his body, they returned, saying that they had even seen a vision of Angels, who said that he is alive.
24:24	And some of us went out to the tomb. And they found it just as the women had said. Pero sa totoo lang, they did not find him.”
24:25	At sinabi niya sa kanila: “How foolish and reluctant in heart you are, to believe everything that has been spoken by the Prophets!
24:26	Was not the Christ required to suffer these things, and so enter into his glory?”
24:27	And beginning from Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them, in all the Scriptures, the things that were about him.
24:28	And they drew near to the town where they were going. And he conducted himself so as to go on further.
24:29	But they were insistent with him, kasabihan, “Remain with us, because it is toward evening and now daylight is declining.” And so he entered with them.
24:30	At nangyari iyon, while he was at table with them, he took bread, and he blessed and broke it, and he extended it to them.
24:31	And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their eyes.
24:32	And they said to one another, “Was not our heart burning within us, while he was speaking on the way, and when he opened the Scriptures to us?”
24:33	And rising up at that same hour, bumalik sila sa Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
24:34	kasabihan: "Sa katotohanan, the Lord has risen, and he has appeared to Simon.”
24:35	And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread.
